defined, no symbols are exported from the module. This is
the typical configuration for most device drivers and
standalone modules; only infrastructure modules or those with
special requirements typically need to export symbols.
Don't print the objcopy commands as they are run when converting

simplifying the module linking process and eliminating the risks
associated with doubly-defined variables.
Cases where commons were legitimately used (detection of
compiled-in subsystems) have been converted to use sysinits, and
any new code should use this or an equivalent practice as a
matter of course.
Modules can override this behaviour by substituting -fno-common
out of ${CFLAGS} in cases where commons are necessary
(eg. third-party object modules). Commons will be resolved and
allocated space when the kld is linked as part of the module
build process, so they will not pose a risk to the kernel or
other modules.
Provide a mechanism for controlling the export of symbols from
the module namespace. The EXPORT_SYMS variable may be set in the
Makefile to NO (export no symbols), a list of symbols to export,
or the name of a file containing a newline-seperated list of
symbols to be exported. Non-exported symbols are converted to
local symbols. If EXPORT_SYMS is not set, all global symbols are
currently exported. This behaviour is expected to change (to
exporting no symbols) once modules have been converted.

is a baaad surprise at boot time..

Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

* easier extensibility- new optional methods can be added to
ac97/mixer/channel classes without having to fixup every driver.
* forward compatibility for drivers, provided no new mandatory methods are

.PATH to ${.CURDIR}/[...]/kern , the "exists" expression will fail for the
form exists(${.CURDIR}/[...]/kern/). This appears to be happening because
make is searching for the argument to "exists" by using .PATH rather than a
relative search, because .PATH and the argument match at the beginning.
Additionally, make appears to consider a path that starts with ${.CURDIR}
as relative, even though it expands to an absolute path.
The reason that most people aren't seeing this problem is that the absolute
paths of /usr/src/sys and /sys are also searched, so as long as the kernel
source can be found in at least one of those places, no problems surface.
This problem was inadvertently introduced on 1 December 2000, with the
addition of the sysvipc modules.

do not have the kernel you wish to compile against in either

this makes the NOFSCHG flag redundant. NOFSCHG will still be honoured by
bsd.lib.mk but is valid for buildworld only. NOFSCHG is still implemented in
the old way (ie. _not_ ".if NOFSCHG then { INSTALLFLAGS_EDIT+=:S/schg/,/ }"
to emphasize the fact that NOFSCHG is only supported in a limited
fashion and for buildworld.
The interface and implementation are such that future use of flags such
as sappnd can also be easily removed or altered (perhaps to uappnd).
